VOL. IV.] Writings of Edward L. Greene. 83 



Argemone corymbosa Greene is A. platyceras lyink & Otto. It 

 was found about a railway station on the Mojave Desert and has 

 been only once collected. 



Papaver Lemmoni Greene is P. Californicuin^ Gray. 



Mr. Greene refers Meconopsis heterophylla to Papaver and 

 copies the incorrect reference of Bot. Calif, to the plate number 

 of Hooker's Icones. 



Platystigma (Meconella) denticulatum Greene is Platystemon 

 Oregamis (Nutt.) 



Deiidromccon flexile\ Greene is D. rigidum var. Harfordii 

 (Kell.) 



Platystemon crinitiis Greene is P. Californicus Benth.

 ?'hombipetata, elegans,'^ ramosa,'^^ Parishii,tt maritima, modesta, 

 tenuiseda, leptandra, Lemmoni, '^X ambigua Greene are unneces- 

 sary additions to the synonymy of the genus, all possible species 

 having been already amply provided for in previous synonyms. 

 In Flora Franciscana, perhaps having reason to fear that his E. 

 glauca was in danger of being mistaken for a half dozen other 

 species, he provides it with a new and striking character — 

 ' ' Species exceedingly well-marked by a certain not well-definable 

 grace of its very beautiful white-glaucous foliage." The phrase 

 is so inimitable that one regrets to disturb it, but judging by the 

 type specimen the " white-glaucous" part is a mistake. 



Nasturtium occidentale Greene is A^. curvisiliqua (Hook.). The 

 statement that the pods are " flattened contrary to the partition " 

 is misleading, the partition being nearly as broad as the valves. 



Nasturtium dictyotum Greene. This exactly matches speci- 

 mens of N. sessiliflorum Nutt. and other specimens current as 

 N. palustre DC.
